it’s like one of those work outs when someone sits on your back as you pump iron but.. BB8 is.. round.. and push ups mean he needs more effort to keep on Poe’s back.. soo… silliness ensues :0 are you guys ticklish on your back? I am… to a certain degree :u

this was an interesting angle? like.. i’m quite.. inflexible with my angles and i’ve never tried work out poses.. so this was.. a challenge to some point :) -wipes brow-

Dear Phyn, do you watch MCU movies? Do you know a lot about MCU ver. Tony Stark? Recently I’ve been thinking and I can’t help but realize that both Tony Stark and Mick Rory have a lot of similarities in common. They’re both my underappreciated babies. Mick was treated poorly by the legends teammates, and I didn’t see any better on Tony’s condition. Hey he literally changed the Stark Tower (personal) to Avengers Tower (team) for the avengers. [CONT]

(2) And I would like to think Tony also contributed a lot in their suits and weapons etc., but no appreciation was shown towards Tony (at least not in the movies). When anything shit happens, both Tony and Mick are the one quickly to be blamed, regardless of their previous contribution and the truth. I’m so disappointed with both the avengers and legends team where they can just simply pointing their fingers at the others and think that they themselves are free from any responsibility.

(3) In Age of Ultron, although the one who created Ultron was Tony (and don’t forget Bruce Banner helped him too, I know it’s because Tony asked him, but did he put a gun at Bruce’s head and forced him to do it? No. Bruce was an adult, he can made his own decision), but who actually pushed Tony into taking that final desperate step? Wanda. Without Wanda toying with Tony’s mind, he won’t even come up with this crazy idea, and yet I never saw Wanda apologized to Tony and the others *shrugs*

4) I also notice that both Mick and Tony have psychological issues. I think the symptoms were clear enough in the movies and TV shows. PTSD (both have been abducted and tortured), self-destructive behavior/suicide attempts (“I shouldn’t be alive, unless there’s a reason”) etc. (that’s all I can think for now, this is your forte after all, I love reading your analysis post) BTW both of them also have alcoholism issue (not sure Tony counted as alcoholic, but he does drink a lot in Iron Man movies)

(5) Oops didn’t thought I’d write so much, but this is just my personal opinion, actually I want to hear your opinions (even a whole new meta post, if I’m lucky enough?) regarding the common similarities between Tony and Mick. Of course you can reject my request if you haven’t watched any MCU movies, or you’re a Tony Stark hater. (You aren’t, are you?) Lastly, thanks for reading my (too long) ask. I hope my grammatical error didn’t confuse you, since English is not my first language. :)

Leaving this here in case anyone else wants to chime in or take off with this discussion, though sorry I don’t have anything personal to add ^^;

hey someone made a post on how lance is selfish and manipulative. everyone's telling op that they did a really good job and they're all like 😫👏 in the tags but i honestly don't see anything good about this. why should ppl congratulate op for trashing lance? we get it, he's flawed. just like Every other character is. i don't understand why she had to single out lance like that. it just doesn't sit well with me. what do you think?

short answer: this fandom doesnt know when to shut up

long answer: theres a double standard with lance in this fandom for some gd reason? god forbid you crit keith but then people will make ugly posts like that and be like ‘ah yes… i meta’d’. tbh the colorism lance hunk and allura all face is so different imo. lance gets hated on and gets posts made like that where he gets criticized just for breathing i swear, hunk gets ignored (along with the fatphobic rhetoric), and allura gets a nice combo of both depending on the day (who else remembers when allura got called racist/homophobic after s2 bc she wasnt the nicest to keith lmao)

i pity the poor schmuck who’s fated to be the boss that stands between me and saving ven in kh3 because no matter who it is no matter how many times i die no matter how long it takes i will tear them apart and make them rue that day and every day leading up to it and i will be screeching like an angry mama pterodactyl the whole time

Tbh I don't think Bolas created Amonkhet, I don't believe that any pw is capable of that post mending. My theory is that Lilianas words bared some weight: "Or if he killed a living one to claim it as his own,". He came onto Amonkhet a long time ago, silently fucked everything up and at the brink of everything dying he turned up and was like "hey I'm the god-pharao, ancient protector of this world. You guys have just forgotten me...worship me" and now we have the Amonkhet we all know.

I think what people are saying is that Bolas made it pre-Mending (if he actually did).

Which is possible; pre-Mending planeswalkers WERE gods, more or less.

I’m just in the camp of “Bolas is a meanie face and doesn’t deserve this stroke to his ego.” :V

yeah it's not that unpopular i said that for Dramatic Effects djsjdjejdhd but tbh i don't see people talking abt it? like at all? am i hanging out on the wrong side of the fandom ?? cause all i see is people talking abt his black hair and the blonde hair while i'm on the corner like ..... what Abt .. the pink hair and the grey hair and the mint green hair,

OH in that case !! we should just take a moment to appreciate the Softness that is yoongi’s colourful hair,,

so i might be alone in this but like…. i’ve never really understood why in klance fics, pidge is always the one who (1) knows that lance and keith are interested in each other far before the boys themselves do and (2) is actively trying to get them together, or at least really wants them to be together??

this isn’t even to speak on how pidge (and hunk, and shiro, and basically everyone else) often seems to be written into a klance fic purely to add to the boys’ relationship and seldom has desires and motives of her own, which is a topic for another day. just like…. i don’t really get why she’s depicted this way SO OFTEN when i can’t really see much canonical evidence for this characterization of her tbh

I’ve been receiving a few asks about shipping and what my take on it is, so here:
I don’t ship anyone in Gorillaz. It kinda makes me happier to see them as a big ole dysfunctional family. If you ship nudoc, 2doc, 2nu or any other ships, then that’s you! I’m okay with it! You shipping them doesn’t have any impact on my life, so you do you. I don’t really like ship bashers tbh. I’m more of a “If it doesn’t concern you, don’t let it bother you” kinda girl.

hi hun i was just wondering why you dislike cassandra clare and book magnus and alec? i don't mean to sound rude or prying i just want to be educated! thank you!

umm well there’s already a lot of stuff abt cc herself which you can find just by browsing theanti tagbut in regards to book ma//lec specifically here’s the main reasons it’s shit (w/ comparisons to highlight why i hate them in the books but love them in the show bc that’s what people usually get mad about)

alec was 17 when they started dating in the books and magnus was a grown ass man. disregarding immortality, magnus was an adult who made the decision to kiss and then immediately start a relationship with a teenager. magnus should’ve shut that shit down as soon as alec asked him out, he was the adult in that situation and even though they ‘waited until alec was 18′ to actually have sex it’s still gross that magnus wanted to fuck him when he was underage.

compare this to the show where alec is in his early 20s (23 i think was said?), and a confident adult in a role of leadership. he figures out what he wants for himself and what he wants in terms of being with magnus, and then pursues it, and they actually take the time to get to know each other before ‘officially’ starting a relationship w/ each other

alec is biphobic, lying, bullying and generally toxic towards magnus in the books. he finds out magnus dated camille/is bi and immediately freaks out, starts treating magnus like shit and accusing him of wanting to fuck everything that moves. he goes behind magnus’ back and talks to camille then lies about it, and picks fights over every minor thing because he refuses to trust magnus and hates the idea of magnus moving on after he grows old and dies

show alec knew magnus had dated camille before they even met. his concerns about magnus’ immortality are rooted in the fact that it will cause magnus pain to watch him age and die, and his concerns about magnus having dated so many people are more along the lines of ‘we have these wildly different life experiences and i don’t feel like i’m able to measure up to what you might expect out of a relationship’ instead of ‘i don’t trust you not to cheat on me or leave me for the next pretty face’ which, is gross and biphobic. they’re open about all of this from the beginning, talk it out and decide to put in the effort to make it work

book!magnus is pushy, manipulative and selfish. he guilts alec into coming out (im not answering your calls because im tired of being your dirty little secret, you should come out because I Love You etc.). he p. much spends the entire six books only caring about alec’s feelings when those feelings inconvenience him, and then instead of concern his response is annoyance (literally instead of being understanding abt. why alec was clinging to his crush on jace for so long he was like ‘im tired of watching you pine after someone who will never love you as much as i do’)

show!magnus is more than capable of being petty (and this isn’t a bad thing at all!! @ the fandom please let him have flaws it’s a natural thing) but he would never never force alec to do anything that made him uncomfortable. he urged alec to accept himself but never tried to force him to come out (in 1x09 he basically offers to date him in secret bc he understands that it might not be safe for alec to be out in his current situation). his response to learning about alec’s fixation on jace was ‘there’s nothing to be ashamed of’ because he immediately understood the reasons for it. he’s genuinely concerned for alec’s wellbeing and encourages him without being uncomfortably pushy. at the same time he doesn’t let alec treat him badly and immediately withdraws himself whenever alec lashes out at him because he refuses to be anybody’s punching bag

that’s the main reasons, there’s other smaller things but. this is already long enough lmao so basically!!!! it’s just an all round unhealthy relationship for both of them and they’re miserable the entire time they’re together, but after they break up and get back together without resolving a single one of the problems that caused them to break up it’s suddenly sunshine and roses and true love. it doesn’t make any sense tbh

sometimes I really do wanna post like a minor little criticism of su but then I know the su critics might reblog it, blow it out of proportion, be unnecessarily negative, and ruin my mood, so I just stay quiet. but then because I don't point out it's flaws, the su critics think I'm like kissing the show's ass or whatever, like no, I just don't wanna be associated with y'all lmao

LMAO SAME!!
Tbh i’ve got my dark spots with the show and I’ve posted a good junk of them a long time ago, sometimes i wanna touch the topic back but I remember them and their interactions and… it just gives me a sour mouth taste and I just… shut up…

The fact that I am positive doesn’t mean that I am blind about the show’s flaws, just like the fact that they have “criticism/critical” in their url or headers doesn’t make them actual critics…

So a lot of people have been saying some negative things about Discovery (re: the uniforms, the klingons, etc) but honestly for me as long as the show is good I don't care?? Like I'm a real easy to please fan and I legit thought the uniforms look great tbh. I think a lot of it is just we don't have context for it yet and it's too early to make judgments on it (like especially cosmetic stuff like this). As long as it's good, I don't really care what it looks like I guess. Just gotta think +

exactly! this trailer is pretty much the only information we have aside from some interviews.

the problem is that its new. and trekkies are real good at gatekeeping and being pretentious and we don’t like new. honestly, call out post @us, especially the older trekkies. its new, it looks different, but we’ll get used to it. when star wars came out with finn and rey fans had about the same reaction we’re having now, but guess what, its fine now! the movies were great and everythings comin up skywalker. we just have to give it time. The same thing happened with voyager (tbh it was way worse for voyager) and ds9. this is just the standard chain of events.

as long as the tv show is good, people will come around. it may take some people a few seasons but they’ll come around, then it will be known as one of the better star trek shows and everyone will get nostalgic for it and we’ll meet all the cast at conventions 50 years later and have them sign our holographic action figures of them.

as long as it is good! ha! we know nothing about it! and I mean maybe them delaying it was a good thing, if they weren’t ready they weren’t ready. I’d rather wait a few extra months and get something good than have it now and it be messy. they’re trying to do it right, at least I think they are. tbh if it wasn’t for that whole cbs all access thing I wouldn’t have any problems. i’ll admit I don’t like how they don’t have red/gold/blue for the uniforms, but maybe theres a reason for that?? idk?? there might be a reason for the Klingons too, who knows!

we wont know anything else until we get another trailer or the show comes out. the end of the first season is the best time to decide if this is a good show or not. ha and even if it isn’t ill still probably watch it! because trek! if our biggest complaint by the end of this is cosmetic I can live with that! costumes and make up can always change. people will calm down, and ill be wearing my llap foam finger. we gonna be fine guys.

all that stuff you said in the tags of that fandom post is stuff I've been needing another person to say for SO LONG. like I'm so happy that people are watching a show about these under represented spies but sorta defeats the purpose if everyone is focusing ALL of their energy on characters that aren't the focus of the show. Also, a slightly unrelated note but I feel like you'll agree, people complain about accuracy and just... forget about all the actual stuff Abe did when they want to hate him

oh anon, i wish i knew who exactly you are because this is a tune i know as my own.

like I’m so happy that people are watching a show about these under represented spies but sorta defeats the purpose if everyone is focusing ALL of their energy on characters that aren’t the focus of the show.

this right here is what drives me up the wall. why can’t we have more of him? where’s he? how can we do this without this one, that one, and [insert your choice of popular male continental figures here]? because this show isn’t about them. it never was — it never claimed to be! even hercules mulligan, who we briefly had the pleasure of meeting, only skirted along the edges of this particular ring. now, for example, do i enjoy lafayette? you bet i do, but when we only have so much of him, i understand why: he’s. not. part. of. the culper ring.

does everyone else deserve representation in media? yes. by all means, yes. there are so many stories needing exploration. there are countless men and women who deserve their stories told, but in the end, turn was made for one story. we only had so much time — and amc cared only so much. that’s a very real fact, and one of the reasons i can’t even complain against the lack of sally townsend who, arguably, had more reason to be there than most.

people complain about accuracy and just… forget about all the actual stuff Abe did when they want to hate him

i am screaming because you’re absolutely correct in assuming this is an issue for me. it’s selective memory, i think, as well as selective accuracy. it goes hand in hand with raising robert townsend up. meanwhile, as a friend and i were just discussing, they were historically an equal match in stress and anxiety. in some ways, robert out-shined abe at times in apprehension (ie: the nephew couriering incident, often quitting, going into hiding when taking emotional blows — abe even had to tell ben to back off of dear culper junior). if we’re going to merge historical facts with the show, you’re going to have to do so thoroughly and not cherry pick.

regardless, here’s the thing about both abraham and robert, historically and show wise: they were complex individuals with strengths and flaws, and they kept going. they both kept going through every hardship thrown at them in the war, and neither got recognition for it in their time.

it’s for that reason that i’m glad the show is about them — and women like abigail, mary, anna, etc. — to inspire people to look into the details behind the story.

Reblog if it’s okay for your partner to use small gifs that are not icon size (100x100). Sometimes it’s hard to find gif icons and I understand they may take a long time to make. I find a lot of small rectangular and square gifs that I want to use but either don’t have the time or patience to icon them.

Could you throw me a short rundown of why other Christians hate catholics so much? I just saw that last post where the guy tried to use you being a catholic to drag you and some shit about that not being a real christian? I never understood that argument since Catholicism was the first version of Christianity and everything else was just a spinoff, but I'm not christian anymore and don't want to do my own research tbh its easier to just ask you

Hoo boy. Okay. Catholics have a tendency to be really confident in their beliefs because we’ve been around for so long. We’re like that. We’re not as preachy as we are people who can tell you for ages why Catholicism is right if need be. But of course, not everyone thinks Catholicism is right, which is why Protestants exist. After the reformation, new denominations were formed, all based around the 5 Solae, which are Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus and Soli Deo Gloria.

Sola Scriptura basically means that the Bible is the final word of God. No extra-biblical teachings like the Church does.

Sola Fide means that God won’t pardon you for works, but through your faith in him alone. The Catholic Church teaches that we must collaborate with God as a friend by doing works.

Sola Gratia means that we’re saved by Grace alone. Again, we believe we must do works.

Solus Christus means that your salvation is received through Christ alone, not through good works.

Soli Deo Gratia means we need to give glory to God alone. Most Protestants see the veneration of the Virgin Mary and prayer to Saints as idolatrous as it takes away the glory to God, but not all.

With differences like these, theres alot of debate to be had.

Basically, we’re both at each other’s throats because we disagree for theological reasons and both sides are confident.
